Using namespace from another project

I have two projects, both build .exe. Project_2 declares an object that is
defined in Project_1. At compile time I refer from Project_2 to Project_1 and
it makes Project_1 namespace available to Project_2. Project_2 compiles and
runs, but at runtime it requires Project_1 executable to be in the same
folder. Otherwise it crashes.

How can I make it so Project_2.exe runs in a different folder from
Project_1.exe? I would prefer not to use GAC.

I am using Visual Studio 2005, C#, Windows Forms.
 
You can use config to specify where else to look for the compiled bits (DLL
most likely).

You can edit (in the preferences of your Visual Studio Project B) the
pathes it will look through to find such files. I am assuming this is
what he is referring to. Add a path to where you want to place Program
1's executable
 
I did some reasearch and it appears that you are wrong. According to MSDN "At
run time, a reference must exist in either the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) or
the output path of the project." (look for "How to: Set the Copy Local
Property of a Reference").
I tried adding a Reference Path, it didn't help.
